Anyone in a Remicade/Infliximab with PegINF and Riba study?

[helpnikki]

I am participating in a Remicade/Infliximab along with standard care PegInf and Riba and was wondering if anyone out there is too?

[helpnikki]

Did you have alot of sx from the pegasys and riba? They say that Remicade is suppose to lessen them. Can you taste it when you get your IV or feel it in any way?

Thank you both for your responses, I appreciate them. I am going to get my 4th treatment next Sunday and haven't had a reaction yet, but I don't know if I am getting the real drug or not. I chose this study because I have beginning stages of RA so I was hoping it would help that too.
Thanks again !

I also know the cheif of the fire dept.here in my area and he has been on Remicade with no reactions, for five years now Helping him also for health reasons.Sunny37 you are so correct with saying,
"everyone is different and react differently to all meds." I agree and Congratulations to your SVR ! Continued good health to you and helpnikki.

Just wanted to let you know that I was on pegasys and riba for 24 weeks and remicade became svr with absolutely no side effects at all....everyone is different and react differently to all meds. I have been on remicade for almost 10 years with no side effects and met MANY MANY people who never experienced any side effects and better health. Just to let you know that this wasn't a study. Just on the remicade for health reasons

Blisters on lips, inside mouth and all over face, neck and arms.Felt horrible.Sun made it react more.Dr seen that and took him off the remicade.That was after fourth treatment.

This isn't going to help but thought I would say, my husband was in a Humira study for crohns disease and they put him on Remicade.Bad Bad reaction to the remicade.Good luck to you.
God Bless,
